Hello
Pre-CanSkate is a 30-minute learn-to-skate program designed for young children (typically ages 3–5) who are new to the ice. It focuses on building confidence, balance, and basic movement skills in a fun, play-based environment.
This program is more relaxed and exploratory than our other levels, using toys, music, and creative games to help skaters get comfortable on the ice. Skaters will learn how to stand up, move forward, and develop coordination — all while having fun!
Led by certified coaches and trained program assistants, Pre-CanSkate lays the foundation for skating success in a supportive and engaging way.
No skating experience needed — just a CSA-approved helmet, warm layers, and a sense of adventure!
